This entire scene you described is appalling - can't even have an honest and fair town hall meeting anymore. Very difficult to make yourself heard unless you are one of the "establishment".

Hi Doug,

You might be interested to know that there was a letter to the editor in the Hunterdon Democrat last week that complained about the same thing at a Lance town hall meeting somewhere in Hunterdon. Someone asked the writer, Lee Anderson, if she was from MoveON.org and when she replied "Not a chance" an elderly woman said, "I hope you'll be civil." MoveON.org is definitely using older people to monopolize town hall meetings. Lee Anderson went on to say "Their clear message of "shared sacrifice" meant that our money was necessary to further their agenda of "progressive" social programs for those most "in need."

Thanks for getting the word out about this, Doug.
